Yup. That's a good one! I agree!
Think about it: He was a senior citizen already in 1986!

Sorry for the tag, my hand slipped on the mouse. Is there a way remove a tag?

Indeed, I have worked in genetics and medical data analysis and it certainly gave me a more realistic sense of what happens when science is commerialised.

As opposed to non-commercialized science (or other fields), where people get grants (usually paid by taxes) to play instead of doing useful things?
|
|

I'd prefer non-commercialized science funded by grants than those funded by companies who include clauses the bury any results they don't like. If we in the US did something similar to Australia where Government (i.e. tax) funded grants are licensed and used for more research. Instead of being used by private companies to earn obscene gobs of money, especially NIH funded ones for new medicines. Yes I'm straying dangerously close to old soapbox territory but my issues is with how the system allows the companies to exploit our tax dollars for their profit.
Plus unless you think outside the box how else will you think of new, novel ideas and approaches to solving problems? If you follow the same path as everyone else you will get the same answer as everyone else. I'm choosing to ignore some of the more off the wall projects out there although the recent study about dealing with shaken beer cans[^] was quite informative. Thank you Denmark!

Of course you have to think out of the box. Where does most innovation come from, the private or the public sector?

There is an assumption in your statement that nothing useful comes out of play, it's not an assumption that I hold.

Not at all. Useful things do come out of play, and it's a healthy activity. My only objection is forcing other people to pay for it.

He's not in business. He's a prof at an Ivy League (=woke) university.
It sounds like he lied to federal investigators, which is a crime in the USSA. It can be prosecuted even if verbal rather than written. Remember Martha Stewart and how everyone thinks she went to jail for insider trading? Nope. She went to jail for lying to federal investigators.

And whether or not he "is" in business, I can see a clear transaction, a payment in return for services.
